About Me


..Hey, I'm a single guy who likes to have fun and hang out with my friends. Whether we're out on the town, at somebody's place, or at work we always have a good time cracking each other up. I love concerts and movies especially when they're cheap! Most people will tell you I might be kind of shy and reserved at first(all my friends are probably laughing at this point) but once you get to know me I'm a fun loving guy who's almost always up for anything. I'm living in my small hometown of Le Roy(Who hoo) and have been since the late summer following my senior year of college. My dream plan is to move out of state and somewhere warm working in the entertainment industry but that hasn't worked out very well so far. :) I'd really like to work for a major media company like CMT or The Travel Channel. I currently work in Peoria, IL at the local PBS TV affiliate WTVP Television. We have a great state-of-the-art broadcast facility located on the Peoria Riverfront. I commute to work which gets very old and expensive especially with the high gas prices but until my big break comes along or I find another job, that's the way the cookie crumbles. My responsibilities at work include editing the station's various on-air promotions, underwriting and small client spots. I also fill in doing my old job as a Production Assistant from time to time working with audio and graphics for local productions at the station, remotes, and many times contractually for other stations throughout the state. I work with a great group at WTVP and we all like to have a good time which helps the heavy and stressful work load go by much faster. Basically I help out wherever and whenever they need me most of the time because let's be honest, we all need the $$$. We're all poor and underpaid so I guess we make great company for one another! :-)I miss my college friends from Illinois State University a lot. We don't get to talk to or see one another very much at all anymore but we try to stay in touch and myspace and AIM is great at helping with that. Although I don't get to see or talk to my friends from high school much either, I miss them too. We are all always there for each other no matter what. Love and miss you guys!..

I'd like to meet:

I'll admit it, I tend to be very picky...with that said, someone great who is comfortable with who they are, loyal to their roots and family, and who is passionate about making a relationship work. By work I mean sticking with someone during the good times and bad despite boundaries that might scare or turn other people away. Relationships take work and by both parties(or so I'm told)...I'd like to find someone who's got the same interests and ambitions that I do but that's not a requirement. I'm looking for those unique qualities and in today's world they seem to be hard to find, at least for me. In my early years I fell very easy but am more of the cautious/non-aggressive kind now. I haven't had many relationships and the few that I have had crashed & burned rather quickly for me so I've grown pretty comfortable with being single and haven't dated much since but am not opposed to it. I will admit to the fact that I'm always afraid of getting rejected. When I care about someone whether it's a friendship or relationship I put my heart on the line. Life is all to short not to tell the people that you care about how much they mean to you so tell and show them everyday!I definitely want marriage in my life and love kids! I'm always up to making new friends...the more the merrier however I tend to be VERY cautious with the "online/unknown" buddies. I have a hard enough time keeping up with all my traditional friends, let alone keeping up with online only friends! :) But don't let that stop you from contacting me. Several have succeeded and many have failed...
